Can. Pale gold colour. This has a nice hop fruitiness, a bit noble, a bit modern. Moderate bitterness, more of that stone fruit accent, a touch of grassiness. Clean pale malt. Quite drinkable. I think the balance is good, but obviously I'd use Tipopils as a benchmark for anything called Italian Pils, and this doesn't go anywhere near that brew.

Blond colour, hazy but cleaner than the other one. Weird aroma, the resinous hops here are mild, and almost hidden by something that smells like nearly rotting fruit. The mouthfeel is not crisp, it's slightly oily, and the malt quality is inferior; the hopping is slightly resinous, but quite modest eventually; hint of butter.
Decent beer.

Can from Broadway LRS, Vancouver; 6.5%ABV, canned 21Jan2020; Belma hops
Cloudy blond to golden, with comnpact head. Some strawberry aroma, sweet and fruity, some yeast too, bit of armpit. Smooth mouthfeel, moderately sweet, it has that bit of fruit, but it clashes with the bitterness.
Overall, unnecessary concept, but drinkable.

Pale blond colour. Mild aroma of grassy, noble hops; butthe flavour of malt and hop is too timid; moderate bitterness.
Too simple.

Bright golden-bronze colour with a thin head. Bright fruit notes, maybe some berries and a lively yuzu accent, all on the aroma. It's got some sweetness and then it's also got some hop bitters in there as well. I think the balance is good. Just a touch of huskiness but I feel they've got the malts down better in this beer than most of their others. So it comes together fairly well, actually, and has the right mix of fruitiness and bitter earthier hop elements.

Can. Slight haze. On the palate, there's a fair bit of hop bitterness, and a touch of strawberry. So it's a bit clashy but not bad - just hop bitterness and strawberries aren't best friends and that might be why it's really difficult to put strawberries in a beer and have it work. So not my type of beer anyway, and the elements don't make me think otherwise for this one.

Hazy IPA with some moderate bitterness. Malts are a bit harsh on this one. Some bright, fruity hop character on this one, however, seems like Sabro is standing out here.

Can from the brewery. Hazy, medium head. On the nose, has a lot of green onion stuff - that's not characteristic of any of these hops but maybe this character comes out when you put too much into a beer as a finisher; Comet in particular wasn't really designed as a finishing hop. The malt is fairly soft, with decent sweetness and body. There are some more tropical elements on the palate, and I generally like it, despite the off-putting aroma.

Simple weak foam and a clear yellow body, the aroma is slight sweet vegetal hops with a hint of smooth creamy yeast. Flavour is malt with excellent smoothness and just the right amount of bitterness. Full mouthfeel, snappy. Very impressive cream ale, clean with pronounced and balanced flavours and a pleasure to drink.
